Blog Chat Tuesday- Dearest Love

Ok, so I am excited by Blog Chat Tuesday every time but this week I am featuring one of my most favourite bloggers, who also happens to be the sweetest girl I know! I spent a lot of 2014 linking up for a coffee break with Jenna and so I am really excited to be featuring her gorgeous blog Dearest Love today. So here we go!

1. Can you tell me a bit about yourself?

I'm a second grade teacher living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two kitties. I have dreams of becoming a floral designer and full time creative by the time I'm 30, and I'm currently taking the steps to accomplish that. Cooking, creating new recipes, blogging, and traveling with my husband are some of my favorite things to do!

2. Can you tell me a little about your blog? (i.e. whats it about, how did it get started etc?)

I started my blog nearly five years ago while I was still in college. I didn't blog regularly or with a purpose until a little over a year ago. My blog is not only a place for me to share my life with others, but to learn from and connect with people from all over the world. I blog about cooking, recipes, style, travel, faith, and random musings.

3. What's your favourite thing about blogging?

My favorite thing is building relationships and true friendships with other bloggers around the world! I've now met in person some of my favorite bloggers, and we have become the best of friends. We support each other, talk blogging, and share life with each other. I never would have met these people if it weren't for God leading us all to write our blogs.

4. What's your least favourite thing?

This is a tough one, because there really isn't much that I don't like about blogging. I'd have to say having to be extra careful to make sure to always be following the law of copyright. One misused image or phrase without proper permission can get you sued quickly. That kind of freaks me out, so I spend a lot of time double and triple checking to make sure there is nothing on my blog that can spark a lawsuit.

5. If you could write any other type of blog what would it be?

I would definitely one day like to write a blog completely devoted to cooking and recipes, or possibly floral design. That would be so much fun!

6. Do you have any blogs that you'd recommend?

Oh, there are so many! One of my favorite bloggers is Amanda of The Lady Okie. She is authentic and she makes me laugh so much. Another blog I love to read is Paper & Stitch. She blogs all things florals and recipes, plus she has great style.7. What three things would you say to wannabe bloggers?

Don't compare yourself to other bloggers, find your own voice, and read A Beautiful Mess's BlogLife!

8. Anything else you'd like to add.

Thanks so much, Laura!

Thank you, Jenna. It was a priviledge to chat with you today! One of my favourite things about Blog Chat Tuesday is learning from other bloggers and I have definitely got BlogLife on my must read!
